'A cracking story, which also gives the reader a window into Arnhem and the Airborne forces.' Saul David, author of Sky Warriors

September 1944.

Days after launching Operation Market Garden, General Montgomery's ambitious plan to end the war by Christmas, a single Dakota aircraft takes to the skies. Inside, Sergeant Sean Harris - a tough, resolute veteran of five years of war - and seven elite paratroopers wait to jump.

Their mission - to rescue Dutch scientist, Gerrit de Jaager, hiding in a Resistance safe house near the Arnhem bridge. In de Jaager's possession are documents containing the location of a secret Nazi facility producing a new synthetic fuel for the V-2 rockets.

With the sadistic Gestapo officer, Gunther Klein in pursuit, Harris and his men need to locate de Jaager and bring him safely to Allied lines, before the German net closes in around them.

But the tanks of 30 Corps, on their way to relieve the encircled British troops, are nowhere to be seen. For those caught in the fighting, time is quickly running out.

Cut off behind enemy lines, and drawn into one of the fiercest battles of the war, Harris and his men must find a way to not only complete their mission - but survive.

John McKay served in the RAF before pursuing a career in the Fire & Rescue Service. He lives in Wigan.
